Don’t led lights run 50 percent cooler than halogen though. Why drill holes

@TheFlexxGarage

If you run a regular bulb at the same brightness as an led bulb with the same amount of brightness…the led will be “cooler” but that doesn’t mean it’s “cool”. Just means it’s not as hot but it’s still hot.

Thank you! I didn't realize the h7 bulbs were press fit in the stock harness. Couldn't figure out how to get the bulb out but after watching you just pull it apart it helped a ton. Thanks!

Great video. I took my wheel off to install my LEDs, and couldn't fit them in the housing. Now I know I need retainers. Thank you Buddy. 👍👍

Damn perfect timing 😂 was just looking into putting leds into my headlights

Thank you so much for sharing, this video have answered my questions. Thanks again. Very detailed and full of information. Straight into the point and no advertise

Bro! You just saved me! I’ve been beating my head against the wall! I’ve bought two sets of these silly clips and figured they were wrong! Jb weld! Awesome!

Thank you so much for this video, i've been looking for the retainer and couldn't find one.

It seems to be much easier if you remove the the gray rubber band before placing the retainer and black ring as you have in the video and then using a pair of groove joint pliers to then turn the retainer/black ring combination to lock it into place. You avoid using JB weld in this method.

Bro your a life saver thank you worked perfectly

Excellent video. Thanks

lol i tried doing tis hack but the retairner clip had to ble glued some how to the bulb nice man ill give it another try

Very helpful l!!! Thanks flex!!

From your Amazon link, were after the T05 and not the T04 to complete this project? Ordered the Nao's last week actually so glad I seen this! Not sure why but eBay is way more expensive for those of us in 🇨🇦 for the brackets

You need h7 canbus decoder. The led bulb you installed might not be canbus ready and will make your bulb flickers or not work at all and have warning on the dash about an out bulb.

Hey I bought 2 sets of H7 led bulbs for my 2015 GL 450 and the low beam has a projector case and the bulb is flickering. The H7 works fine with the high beam. It’s strange because I got them at Amazon and they said that the H7 work for both high and low beam. Please help me out

Hey bro can u past me the 2 links the one for the lights and the other for the clips thank u

I just replaced my 2011 c300 headlights with led’s. The bulb starts to flicker on and off after the heat up. I don’t have a bulb out error or anything like that. I cannot find the fuse.

This is definitely informative. I wouldn’t have thought to JB weld the bracket to the bulb. Did you change both high beams and low beams or just the lows? If just the lows why not the high beams ?

Would these fit 2013 Mercedes E350, and will I need power converter

Would these retainer clips fit a 2016 cla 250

I have 2010 E350 the H7 blink, I had to buy a resistor kit, I’m waiting for that to come in but I’m nervous about putting it inside where bulb goes I know it gets very hot

The LEDs I got to put into my W164 have the H7 bracket that spins. You put it on via pins and turn to lock it however it doesn't hit a certain point and stop but rather keeps spinning till it hits the pins that allow the collar to come off hence trying to turn the damn bulbs to get them to lock into the headlight housing is a nightmare. Not only that but you have no idea if the chips are at the 3 and 9 positions.

Hi, Flexx, I would like to know if I can re-use the Prong of light bulb socket or not at the time of not obtaining your special blackets, also want to know how many of the breeding holes on the dome, such like ie, phy4mm diameter drill X30 holes etc...

Flex, any issues with moisture in the headlights after drilling holes in the dust cap?

@TheFlexxGarage

3 жыл бұрын

No. Purposeful holes with allow outside air to be the same temp as inside the lens which means no moisture or condensation can develop. It’s not the same as a crack. A crack will let air and water in but doesn’t do a good job of letting it out. Just make sure you don’t drill holes up top where water can drip on. Also, when washing a car, it’s not good to pressure wash the headlights. Always put low setting or just drizzle water on it and wash/wax by hand.

How do you do the H7 low beam replacement with LED bulb on 2003 ML 320? The original retainer is not as think as the universal adaptor.

can this work for an rgb h7 as well?

Hi flexx, the retainer should be T05 for both low and high beams? Thanks

Hey Flexx, having a bit of a problem installing the H7 NAO LEDs with the TomAll H7-Holder-Benz-Adapters, When pushed in with about 10 to 15 degrees from the vertical , as you turn it to engage the welded assy of ring and adapter slides on the bulb and does not engage. In you video it seems that the ring and adapter would turn with the bulb and this is not happening. I need to engage the ring better, there are two O rings there, any suggestions?. should I add something else between the ring and the bulb, like a piece of rubber band, or Loctite or just weld them together with JB weld so that the prons engage when turning?

Great video man! Definitely want to try this. However, the LED bulbs is sold out. Any other alternative bulbs on amazon that would work the same?

I am doing my wife’s 2016 gla250. They ARE the same size, but be warned as easy as Flexx makes it look, it is a pain in the bottom! I had the JB Weld idea before watching this video and I basically attempted the same assembly and insertion into the lightbulb housing. I ended up ruining one set of led bulbs and trying on the second set tomorrow. It is a real bugger getting the new adapters/retaining clips to seat in the housing. Before you begin, I would make sure you have plenty of JB Weld and a couple of spare adapters. Just saying... I just finished the rear leds this morning. So if you’ve got any questions, I’d be happy to help.

Did you get the msg saying check low beam I did in mines?

Nope. Some LED bulbs consume so little power than a halogen bulb that the car thinks the bulb is out. Only way to fix is get error free led bulbs or install inline warning cancellators.

Depends. Most headlights have a hole call a breather hole/hose. It allows the temp inside the headlight to vent and for the headlight to be the same temp as outside so there’s no moisture or condensation. I’m essentially doing the same thing with my holes. This is not like a crack. A crack in a headlight will let moisture in but not out.
